CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the first meeting
between both programs since 2000, host Whittier College recorded a
17-1 win over the MIT men's lacrosse team on Tuesday. With the
loss, the Engineers' ledger dipped to 2-2 on the year.

The Poets opened the scoring four minutes into the contest. The
Cardinal and Gray tallied the equalizer at the 8:58 mark when Dan
Piemont connected on a feed from Carl Tilbury. Whittier tacked on
four straight goals to secure a 5-1 lead at the end of the first
quarter. The Poets went on to amass seven unanswered goals in the
second stanza to put the game out of reach. Whittier found the back
of the net twice in the third quarter before adding three goals in
the final frame.

Alex Andrzejewski and Christopher Rullan both scooped up seven
groundballs while Rullan collected 15 saves. Tom Hay bolstered the
defense with a pair of caused turnovers.
